LeeAnn is a quilter and volunteers with church activities.

Our “dream” motorhome trip:To see the colors in New England and Alaska.

Our perfect day of motorhome travel:No wind, no humidity and no traffic!

Our worst motorhoming experience:When we had a fuel pump failure and we didn’t know if it was bad fuel or what, but we “limped” all the way home. Thank goodness we were only 50 miles from home.

Our motorhoming pet peeve:Pet owners who do not pick up doggie pooh.

The best addition we’ve made to our motorhome:An exterior sewer hose storage area

If we could change one thing about our motorhome, it would be:In-floor heating and all hardwood floor

Something about motorhoming that we know now but did NOT know when we started:That fuel was going to be a major investment.

When driving a motorhome, the most important thing to remember is:To be aware of your surroundings. Roger always says, “Don’t talk to the driver” and “Enjoy the ride.”

Advice for other motorhome owners:Check out the motorhome’s construction and try it before you buy it.

Our hobbies:LeeAnn loves to quilt, bake and host rallies. Roger likes to tinker around with many things.

Something others would be surprised to know about us:How long we have been married

If we were awarded a shopping spree at the store of our choice, the store we’d choose is:LeeAnn would choose Harrods in London … she was there once but could not afford much. Roger would shop at Fleet Farm or Menards.

Items that we always keep in our motorhome’s refrigerator while traveling:Milk, water and homemade soup
